Dame d'amour; dame aux belles couleurs;

Dieu vous a fait belle; Amour vous fait reine。



2。

Rions; je t'en prie; aimons; je le veux。

Le temps fuit et rit et ne revient guere

Pour baiser le bout de tes blonds cheveux;

Pour baiser tes cils; ta bouche et tes yeux;

L'amour n'a qu'un jour aupres de sa mere。



QUEEN。

'T is a true song; love shall not pluck time back

Nor time lie down with love。  For me; I am old;

Have you no hair changed since you changed to Scot?

I look each day to see my face drawn up

About the eyes; as if they sucked the cheeks。

I think this air and face of things here north

Puts snow at flower…time in the blood; and tears

Between the sad eyes and the merry mouth

In their youth…days。



CHASTELARD。

It is a bitter air。



QUEEN。

Faith; if I might be gone; sir; would I stay?

I think; for no man's love's sake。



CHASTELARD。

I think not。



QUEEN。

Do you yet mind at landing how the quay

Looked like a blind wet face in waste of wind

And washing of wan waves? how the hard mist

Made the hills ache? your songs lied loud; my knight;

They said my face would burn off cloud and rain

Seen once; and fill the crannied land with fire;

Kindle the capes in their blind black…gray hoods

I know not what。  You praise me past all loves;

And these men love me little; 't is some fault;

I think; to love me:  even a fool's sweet fault。

I have your verse still beating in my head

Of how the swallow got a wing broken 

In the spring time; and lay upon his side

Watching the rest fly off i' the red leaf…time;

And broke his heart with grieving at himself

Before the snow came。  Do you know that lord

With sharp…set eyes? and him with huge thewed throat?

Good friends to me; I had need love them well。

Why do you look one way?  I will not have you 

Keep your eyes here:  't is no great wit in me

To care much now for old French friends of mine。

Come; a fresh measure; come; play well for me;

Fair sirs; your playing puts life in foot and heart。



DARNLEY。

Lo you again; sirs; how she laughs and leans;

Holding him fastthe supple way she hath!

Your queen hath none such; better as she is

For all her measures; a grave English maid;

Than queen of snakes and Scots。



RANDOLPH。

She is over fair

To be so sweet and hurt not。  A good knight;

Goodly to look on。



MURRAY。

Yea; a good sword too;

And of good kin; too light of loving though;

These jangling song…smiths are keen love…mongers;

They snap at all meats。



DARNLEY。

What! by God I think;

For all his soft French face and bright boy's sword;

There be folks fairer:  and for knightliness;

These hot…lipped brawls of Paris breed sweet knights

Mere stabbers for a laugh across the wine。



QUEEN。

There; I have danced you down for once; fair lord;

You look pale now。  Nay then for courtesy

I must needs help you; do not bow your head;

I am tall enough to reach close under it。



'Kisses him。'



Now come; we'll sit and see this passage through。



DARNLEY。

A courtesy; God help us! courtesy

Pray God it wound not where it should heal wounds。

Why; there was here last year some lord of France

(Priest on the wrong side as some folk are prince)

Told tales of Paris ladiesnay; by God;

No jest for queen's lips to catch laughter of

That would keep clean; I wot he made good mirth;

But she laughed over sweetly; and in such wise

But she laughed over sweetly; and in such wise

Nay; I laughed too; but lothly。



QUEEN。

How they look!

The least thing courteous galls them to the bone。

What would one say now I were thinking of?



CHASTELARD。

It seems; some sweet thing。



QUEEN。

True; a sweet one; sir

That madrigal you made Alys de Saulx

Of the three ways of love:  the first kiss honor;

The second pity; and the last kiss love。

Which think you now was that I kissed you with?



CHASTELARD。

It should be pity; if you be pitiful;

For I am past all honoring that keep 

Outside the eye of battle; where my kin

Fallen overseas have found this many a day

No helm of mine between them; and for love;

I think of that as dead men of good days

Ere the wrong side of death was theirs; when God

Was friends with them。



QUEEN。

Good; call it pity then。

You have a subtle riddling skill at love

Which is not like a lover。  For my part;

I am resolved to be well done with love;

Though I were fairer…faced than all the world;

As there be fairer。  Think you; fair my knight;

Love shall live after life in any man?

I have given you stuff for riddles。



CHASTELARD。

Most sweet queen;

They say men dying remember; with sharp joy

And rapid reluctation of desire;

Some old thin; some swift breath of wind; some word;

Some sword…stroke or dead lute…strain; some lost sight;

Some sea…blossom stripped to the sun and burned

At naked ebbsome river…flower that breathes

Against the stream like a swooned swimmer's mouth

Some tear or laugh ere lip and eye were man's

Sweet stings that struck the blood in ridingnay;

Some garment or sky…color or spice…smell;

And die with heart and face shut fast on it;

And know not why; and weep not; it may be

Men shall hold love fast always in such wise

In new fair lives where all are new things else;

And know not why; and weep not。



QUEEN。

A right rhyme;

And right a thyme's worth:  nay; a sweet song; though。

What; shall my cousin hold fast that love of his; 

Her face and talk; when life ends? as God grant

His life end late and sweet; I love him well。

She is fair enough; his lover; a fair…faced maid;

With gray sweet eyes and tender touch of talk;

And that; God wot; I wist not。  See you; sir;

Men say I needs must get wed hastily;

Do none point lips at him?



CHASTELARD。

Yea; guessingly。



QUEEN。

God help such lips! and get me leave to laugh!

What should I do but paint and put him up

Like a gilt god; a saintship in a shrine;

For all fools' feast?  God's mercy on men's wits!

Tall as a housetop and as bare of brain

I'll have no staffs with fool…faced carven heads

To hang my life on。  Nay; for love; no more;

For fear I laugh and set their eyes on edge

To find out why I laugh。  Good…night; fair lords;

Bid them cease playing。  Give me your hand; good…night。







SCENE III。MARY BEATON'S chamber:  night。



'Enter CHASTELARD。'



CHASTELARD。

I am not certain yet she will not come;

For I can feel her hand's heat still in mine;

Past doubting of; and see her brows half draw;

And half a light in the eyes。  If she come not;

I am no worse than he that dies to…night。

This two years' patience gets an end at least;

Whichever way I am well done with it。

How hard the thin sweet moon is; split and laced

And latticed over; just a stray of it

Catching and clinging at a strip of wall;

Hardly a hand's breadth。  Did she turn indeed

In going out? not to catch up her gown

The page let slip; but to keep sight of me?

There was a soft small stir beneath her eyes

Hard to put on; a quivering of her blood

That knew of the old nights watched out wakefully。

Those measures of her dancing too were changed

More swift and with more eager stops at whiles

And rapid pauses where breath failed her lips。



'Enter MARY BEATON。'



O; she is come:  if you be she indeed

Let me but hold your hand; what; no word yet?

You turn and kiss me without word; O sweet;

If you will slay me be not over quick;

Kill me with some slow heavy kiss that plucks

The heart out at the lips。  Alas! Sweet love;

Give me some old sweet word to kiss away。

Is it a jest? for I can feel your hair

Touch meI may embrace your body too?

I know you well enough without sweet words。

How should one make you speak?  This is not she。

Come in the light; nay; let me see your eyes。

Ah; you it is? what have I done to you?

And do you look now to be slain for this

That you twist back and shudder like one stabbed?



MARY BEATON。

Yea; kill me now and do not look at me:

God knows I meant to die。  Sir; for God's love;

Kill me now quick ere I go mad with shame。



CHASTELARD。

Cling not upon my wrists:  let go the hilt:

Nay; you will bruise your hand with it:  stand up:

You shall not have my sword forth。



MARY BEATON。

Kill me now;

I will not rise:  there; I am patient; see;

I will not strive; but kill me for God's sake。



CHASTELARD。

Pray you rise up and be not shaken so:

Forgive me my rash words; my heart was gone

After the thing you were:  be not ashamed;

Give me the shame; you have no part in it;

Can I not say a word shall do you good?

Forgive that too。



MARY BEATON。

I shall run crazed with shame;

But when I felt your lips catch hold on mine

It stopped my breath:  I would have told you all;

Let me go out:  you see I lied to you;

Am I am shamed; I pray you loose me; sir;

Let me go out。



CHASTELARD。

Think no base things of me:

I were most base to let you go ashamed。

Think my heart's love and honor go with you:

Yea; while I live; for your love's noble sake;

I am your servant in what wise may be;

To love and serve you with right thankful heart。



MARY BEATON。

I have given men leave to mock me; and must bear

What shame they please:  you have good cause to mock。

Let me pass now。



CHASTELARD。

You know I mock you not。

If ever I leave off to honor you;

God give me shame!  I were the worst churl born。



MARY BEATON。

No marvel though the queen should love you too;

Being such a knight。  I pray you for her love;

Lord Chastelard; of your great courtesy;

Think now no scorn to give me my last kiss

That I shall have of man before I die。

Even the same lips you kissed and knew not of

Will you kiss now; knowing the shame of them;

And say no one word to me afterwards;

That I may see I have loved the best lover

And man most courteous of all men alive?



MARY SEYTON。
